Shopify cart value limits

Set an order range
that fits your store.

Set minimum and maximum cart subtotals to guide order size and define which carts can proceed through supported checkout validation.

A minimum that makes sense

A minimum cart subtotal can support an order policy where very small baskets are impractical to fulfill. For example, a store might set a $100 order minimum and explain the remaining amount before checkout.

An upper boundary for a single order

A maximum cart subtotal sets an upper limit for one cart. It applies to the current order; it does not cap a shopper’s spending across multiple orders.

Clear messages at the right moment

Use a concise message that states the requirement and next step. Add Cart Progress on a compatible cart surface to help shoppers understand progress toward the applicable goal.

Test the boundary, not just a typical cart

Check below, at, and above the threshold. Confirm the subtotal behavior with your store’s discounts, currencies, and checkout configuration before publishing.

Know what happens at checkout

Guidance and validation
work together.

Theme blocks communicate the rule. Supported published rules use Shopify Functions for checkout enforcement.
